Towards a frustrated Lewis pair-ionic liquid system

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Gabor Laurenczy, Zhaofu Fei, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Emilia Paunescu, Florian Gérald Abela

An ionic liquid encompassing a bulky tertiary amine was synthesized and used as a dual solvent-reactant for the formation of a frustrated Lewis pair with tris(pentafluorophenyl) borane, forming a pseudo-frustrated Lewis pair-ionic liquid system. The ionic ...

3-D micro-architecture and mechanical response of soil cemented via microbial-induced calcite precipitation

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis

We introduce the application of microbial-induced calcite precipitation via the ureolytic soil bacterium Sporosarcina Pasteurii in freeze-dried form, as a means of enhancing overall MICP efficiency and reproducibility for geotechnical engineering applicati ...

Chiral expression of adsorbed (MP) 5-amino[6] helicenes: from random structures to dense racemic crystals by surface alloying

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder

The chiral expression of a molecule on a surface is driven from a random solid solution on Cu(100) to a racemic crystal on a Sn/Cu(100) alloy. Density functional theory simulations reveal how the growth of the racemate is influenced by the underlying surfa ...

Quantifying microbial risks of field-scale struvite production from source-separated urine using first-person videography exposure assessment

Tamar Kohn, Ana Karina Pitol Garcia, Timothy R. Julian

This paper quantifies occupational exposures to pathogens in urine during urine collection and processing into fertilizer as well as attendant risks of infection from indirect pathogen exposure. We also detail the microlevel activity time series (MLATS) me ...

Hygiene considerations during the collection, storage and processing of source-separated urine into a marketable fertilizer

Tamar Kohn, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger

Laboratory and field studies along with inactivation data from the literature are used to model bacteria inactivation during urine storage and struvite production. The model is used to evaluate urine storage and struvite drying under the fluctuating temper ...

Conversion of chitin derived N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) into polyols over transition metal catalysts and hydrogen in water

Felix Daniel Bobbink, Ning Yan, Xi Chen

N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG), the monomer of the world's second most abundant biopolymer chitin, has been for the first time converted to its corresponding amide/amino substituted sugar alcohols, smaller C2-4 polyols and N-acetylmonoethanolamine (NMEA), ov ...

CO2 induced phase transitions in diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks

Berend Smit, Sondre Kvalvag Schnell

Using a combination of density functional theory and lattice models, we study the effect of CO2 adsorption in an amine functionalized metal-organic framework. These materials exhibit a step in the adsorption isotherm indicative of a phase change. The press ...

Ammonia Storage and Release in SCR Systems for Mobile Applications

Oliver Kröcher

In mobile SCR applications, the most widespread reducing agent is ammonia. However, due to its toxicity it is not stored directly as pressurized or liquefied gas. Instead, an aqueous solution of 32.5 wt % urea is commonly used as ammonia precursor. The ure ...

Adjusting the Local Arrangement of π‑Stacked Oligothiophenes through Hydrogen Bonds: A Viable Route to Promote Charge Transfer

Antonio Prlj, Jérôme Florian Gonthier, Eric Albert Georges Bremond, Hongguang Liu

We show that substituting quaterthiophene cores with strong H-bond aggregators, such as urea groups, provides an efficient way to adjust the mutual in-plane displacements of the semiconducting units and promote charge transfer. Our 2-D structure-property m ...

Synthesis of highly effective vanadium nitride (VN) peas as a counter electrode catalyst in dye-sensitized solar cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Hairun Guo

Vanadium nitride (VN) peas and cubes were synthesized by regulating the molar ratio of the starting materials (urea/VOCl3) via the urea-metal chloride route. The as-prepared VN compounds were subsequently introduced into dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) a ...
